I’ve been thinking a lot about comparison lately. Social media has a tendency to be the highlight reel of other people’s lives, but we so often hold it as the (totally unachievable) standard of how our own lives should look. I so value when people are authentic and real on social media (without swinging in the ‘Debbie Downer’ direction…haha)! Finding that balance of over-sharing and being authentic is so hard when you run a small business, y’all. Recently a few people I admire have been posting lists of things they DON’T do in an effort to be transparent about the fact that no one is really superman/woman.

But I want to make a point to blog about my goals each month, so better late than never, right? hahaI should probably also mention that I DID fill out my PowerSheets at the beginning of the month; I just didn’t get around to blogging about it until now.
